CRIME

OAKLAND -- Oakland police are investigating a shooting that killed a man Saturday night in a neighborhood west of downtown, as well as a second death that may also be a homicide near the Berkeley and Emeryville borders.

The shooting was reported at 10:13 p.m. Saturday near 19th and West streets in West Oakland, police said. The victim, 28-year-old Donald Robinson, was found in a vehicle suffering from a single gunshot wound. He was taken to Highland Hospital, where doctors soon pronounced him dead.

In the second case, which authorities are initially classifying as an unexplained death, officers were called to the 1000 block of 57th Street at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. They found a victim and learned that he may have died from injuries suffered during an unreported robbery and assault a few days earlier, police said.
